Chapter 110: The Willows and Flowers
After returning to Chengdu from Dali, Ye Zhiqiu wanted to rush back to the Institute of Archaeology, and when I left, I repeatedly told her that I must not tell anyone about the Jiuli Ancestral God and the temple, and I can't reveal the secret that we discovered in front of Wen Ru.
After Ye Zhiqiu left, he planned to go home first and sleep well, but the general asked me to tell Ye Jiuqing what happened in Yunnan first, who knew that as soon as I arrived at the Sifang pawnshop, Zhao Yan came out from the counter to tell us that Feng Cheng had found out the news of Lu Sheng's descendants, and now he had rushed to Gutao Town in Pingyao, Shanxi, saying that if we came back, we would go to Gutao as soon as possible to join them.
Everyone is really tired after a long journey, Lu Sheng's line is related to the clues of the underground altar of Aoki River, I asked Tian Ji and Gong Jue to go back to rest first, and I will go to Gu Tao by myself this time, they all shook their heads and said that they walked all the way.
"I still have important matters, Gu Tao won't accompany you." The general looked at the calendar and his voice was low. "I'm not worried about having a seal over there."
After all, the general is old, and the bumpy road is estimated that the physical strength is really not able to keep up, I let the general have a good rest, and we will return as soon as possible after dealing with the ancient pottery.
Pingyao, Shanxi is a famous ancient city, since the Ming Hongwu three years after the reconstruction, basically maintained the original pattern, followed Ye Jiuqing over the years to go south and north also went to a lot of places, but this is the first time I came to Shanxi.
It was already evening when Gu Tao saw Feng Cheng, I originally thought that Ye Jiuqing would be with him, but I only saw him alone in the teahouse, Feng Cheng was not smiling for more than ten years with a bitter gourd face, he sat by the window, and saw that we went up to calm down and asked for a pot of tartary buckwheat tea.
"What's the matter with us coming here in such a hurry?" I was so tired that I was about to fall apart, and I drank the tea in front of Feng Cheng without saying a word, and I almost didn't blister on my tongue when I drank it in a hurry.
"Jun as a tea song is like history, not only tea tasting and tasting people, such a good tea to taste, and the word three mouthfuls, intended to be detailed, you are so good to drink is really a big scenery." Feng Cheng shook his head and frowned.
"Two thousand!" I was more than two fingers in front of the seal. "Your old saying, I just arrived in Chengdu and rushed here non-stop, tossing back and forth for 2,000 kilometers, you told me to taste tea and enlighten the Tao, you also taught me for more than ten years, you look like a person who can realize the Tao?"
Feng Cheng didn't speak, picked up the teapot and poured water into the teabowl in front of me: "You are just like this teacup, full of ......"
"Don't, you always stop, don't tell me anything to empty before you can fill it, I understand, I really understand, my stomach is empty now, I can listen to whatever you say." I hurriedly waved my hand to let Feng Chengting, he was like Mr. Baguwen, babbling endlessly all day long.
"It's insulting to Sven, I have taught you for more than ten years, and it's like playing the piano to a cow." Feng Cheng shook his head and sighed.
"Hehe, you're not having a good time, my dad is like this, you can understand how difficult it is for me to be at home now." Tian Ji gloated and laughed at me, probably because he found out that he was still in front of Feng Cheng, so he quickly changed his words. "Don't mind, I mean you're like my father, tirelessly teaching by word and deed, but he doesn't open his mind."
"People divide things into groups and gather ...... like" was speechless by Tian Jiqi.
"Alright." I sat down next to Feng Cheng and poured him tea. "I'll go back and tell you about what I encountered in Yunnan, I promise to open your eyes, you talk about business first, and I'll accompany you to taste tea when I'm free."
"If you like to drink tea, my Lingnan specialty Tieguanyin, I will bring you two boxes of fine products when I go back in the future." Gong Jue took the teapot from my hand and got up, raised it with both hands, and poured seven points for the sealed teacup.
Phoenix San nodded, it seems that he is a person who understands tea. Feng Cheng looked at the palace lord with blue eyes. "Lingnan heavy tea ceremony, ancient poems also have Fujian tea quality in the world, leaning into tea does not know how to work, you must be a person like a person with a heart as dust."
"My master likes tea, often says that drinking kung fu, the tea ceremony is all in the word kung fu, not overnight, all by the accumulation of time to understand its way." The palace lord is not arrogant or impatient, and the answer is like a stream. "You are a person who understands tea, and I hope to advise the younger generation in front of you."
"Good!" Feng Cheng's smile was opened, and it was rare to see him so happy. "Chaoge has been in a pawnshop since he was a child, and he has learned to be a gangster, although he is smart but he is not used in learning, he is smooth and sophisticated, and he is both good and evil, although he will not suffer a loss when he goes out, but he is perverse and strong, it is not a good thing in the end, I am much more relieved to have you by my side, and the two of you complement each other, hahaha."
"What about me......" Tian Ji looked unconvinced.
"Come on, it's rare to hear Master Feng praise from our pawnshop." I pushed the teacup in front of the field chicken and smiled bitterly. "I haven't seen it yet, you and I are the same dog, the palace lord is outstanding, and we are bored with ourselves."
"There must be a teacher for the threesome, choose those who are good and follow them, and change those who are not good." Feng Cheng turned his head to see me turn into a bitter gourd face again. "The shopkeeper let you explore the Nine Dragons Boat of the Moon Palace alone, it is also a grinding for you, the jade is not cut, you are a jade, how to carve it depends on yourself, it is a heirloom treasure, or a remnant that no one cares about, it is all up to you."
"Cheng, what you have learned is that I must follow your old requirements, and I don't expect to be comparable to you, at least I won't lose your face." I smiled and brought the teacup to Feng Cheng. "Two thousand kilometers...... You always have to get down to business. ”
Feng Chengbai I estimated at a glance that I didn't eat oil and salt, and I didn't want to play the piano to the cow anymore, Feng Cheng told us that during the time we went to Yunnan, he had been sending people to track down the whereabouts of Lu Sheng's descendants, and the emperor lived up to his wishes, and finally learned from the farmer who was responsible for receiving education that the person who was locked up in the cowshed with Feng Cheng was called Cao Hua.
Cao Hua and Feng Cheng were also in sympathy during that time, Cao Hua thought that he would not be long in coming, so he told Feng Cheng that he was Lu Sheng's descendant, and told Feng Cheng that he deciphered Lu Sheng's training and learned that Lu Sheng had a magnificent treasure hidden in the ancestral mountain.
Cao Hua had searched for it before, but he found nothing, and he must have no hope for it, so he should have gossiped and told him.
Later, Cao Hua returned to his hometown after being rehabilitated, Feng Cheng didn't take what Cao Hua said seriously at all, it was all a joke, who knew that after the Aoki River underground altar was discovered, Feng Cheng realized that what Cao Hua said was very important.
"Where is Cao Hua now?" I asked eagerly.
"Dead." Feng Cheng replied.
"Dead?!" Tian Ji was stunned and looked at us. "How can you track down when everyone is dead?"
"Do you know how Cao Hua died?" Feng Cheng asked.
"How did you die?" The palace lord looked curious.
"He was beaten to death."
"Didn't you say that Cao Hua was rehabilitated?" I looked at Feng Cheng in amazement. "After being beaten into the black five categories, who would dare to beat him to death if he was rehabilitated?"
"After Cao Hua was rehabilitated, he actually went to dig the ancestral grave of the Cao family, but he was beaten to death by the clansmen."
"He's going to dig up his ancestral grave?!" I frowned, and quickly looked up to react. "Cao Hua told you that Lu Sheng hid something in the ancestral mountain, presumably something he took away from the underground altar of the Aoki River, it seems that what Cao Hua said is not groundless, he really believes that there is a treasure in the ancestral mountain, so he will dig his ancestral grave."
The so-called one life, two fortunes and three feng shui, the attention to the ancestral tomb is not limited by geography at all, and there is a sentence in the tomb robbery business.
The ancestral tomb is broken, the feng shui is turned, and hundreds of generations of descendants turn over the plate.
Even the tomb robbers who rely on the wealth of the dead have unwritten rules, but all the ancestral graves will not be moved, digging people's ancestral graves is more serious than killing, sometimes fights and brawls kill a few people at best, if you break the ancestral grave of others, it is like breaking the blood of a clan.
"Cao Hua also studies history, the ancestral grave can't be dug up, we tomb robbers all understand, how dare he do such a thing."
"People die for money, birds die for food, and they are not good birds, and their ancestral graves have to be dug." Tian Ji was dismissive.
"That's not necessarily, although he hasn't known Cao Hua for a long time, he focuses on and cares about academics, and he doesn't care about profits, and he insists on his own views and refuses to compromise, otherwise he wouldn't be stubborn enough to be beaten into the black five categories." Feng Cheng shook his head in affirmation. "Cao Hua is extraordinary, knowledgeable, and definitely not a person who wants to see wealth, he values prestige so much, and he will never steal and dig ancestral graves for money."
"It's hard to say, what you taught me is to know people and faces, but you don't know your heart, you and Cao Hua Pingshui met just a one-sided friend, how can you be so sure that he is not interested in seeing money." I asked with a smile.
"There is a thing called faith, everyone has it, some people are for money, some people are for power, but Cao Hua is much simpler, he is so stubborn that what he believes must be confirmed." Feng Cheng's voice was flat, and he replied with a teacup. "No one cares if he digs the ancestral grave and is killed, Cao Hua will not know, even so he will not hesitate to dig the grave at the cost of life and death, and he will be interested in wealth, who do you think is important?"
"And then?" Gong Jue asked.
Feng Cheng told us that he traced Cao Hua's whereabouts, and traced the roots in the genealogy of the ancestral ancestral hall of the Cao family, confirming what Cao Hua said, the Cao family is a famous family, famous in the local area, and the ancestor of the Cao family is Lu Sheng, presumably Lu Sheng After building the underground altar of the Aoki River, he went to the ancient pottery in Pingyao, Shanxi, and changed his name and surname here to live.
"I have been to see the ancestral mountain of the Cao family, I heard that when the Cao family was in its heyday, the Shu embroidery mountain behind the ancestral hall was the ancestral mountain of the Cao family, the ancestors of the Cao family were buried in this mountain, and later the ancestors of the Cao family were renamed Wangyue Mountain, the ancestral tomb of the Cao family is distributed on the central axis and is spectacular, which can be called a folk mausoleum mountain." Feng Cheng took a sip of tea and continued. "However, during the Cultural Revolution, the four olds were broken, and the ancestral tombs of the Cao family on Mochizuki Mountain were all destroyed and razed to the ground, and even the descendants of the current Cao family could not distinguish the location of the ancestors' mausoleums."
"Then how did Cao Hua dig the ancestral grave?" Tian Ji asked suspiciously.
"I said that Cao Hua is a very persistent person, but in the end he also died on his persistence, Cao Hua didn't know who Lu Sheng's mausoleum was, so he dug up the tomb when he saw it in Mochizuki Mountain, he was bent on proving the secret he left in the ancestral teachings left by Lu Sheng, and the result was ......" Feng Cheng sighed heavily and regretted his face. Cao Hua was angry with the public, and no one would allow him to dig up the ancestral mountain, and began to consider that he was a descendant of the Cao family just to drive him away, but Cao Hua did not restrain and was finally ...... by the villagers."
"Hey, this person is probably stupid to read too many books, I have always said that Xiucai is sour and rotten, what is not good to do, he actually went to dig the ancestral grave, no one did this to give money, he deserved to be killed." Tian Ji shook his head and smiled and asked Feng Cheng. "Cao Hua has been killed, and the clues on his body have been broken, why do you always let us come here?"
Feng Cheng looked directly at Tian Ji with a clear face, and asked casually with a teacup.
"Do you know why although I only have a one-sided relationship with Cao Hua, I hate to see each other at first sight?"
Tian Ji shook his head blankly.
"Because like him, I'm also a sour showman."
"Don't, I can't speak, I don't want to say that you are old, I mean Cao Hua, don't get me wrong, where can Cao Hua compare with you, he is stupid to dig the ancestral grave, and he is blatantly digging, it is strange that such a stupid person was not killed" Tian Ji seems to be a little afraid of Feng Cheng, in fact, I was very afraid of Feng Cheng when I first met him, and he wrinkled his face all day long, as if he was not satisfied with anything, but Feng Cheng This person is a powerful mouth, and I am used to it after knowing it for a long time, but Tian Ji should be afraid of provoking Feng Cheng and hurriedly explained
"Me and Cao Hua are the same, only the things that are determined must be done, whether they live or die! What he didn't finish, I promised to help him do it. Feng Cheng didn't listen to Tian Ji's explanation, and elegantly drank the tea in the cup, and said calmly. When it gets dark, we'll go up to Mt. Mochizuki. ”
"You, what are you going to do?" I got up from my chair in shock.
"Go dig the ancestral grave of the Cao family!"
